If soemone can eat cow, then why not horse? What is the difference really?! lol It's hypocritical to say "oh i'll eat cow, but not horse".. lol

I understand the whole part about not knowing what is really in our food, but if you think that horse is the worst thing that is in your food, then that is just utterly hilerious.

Then I also understand the part about the horses could have had certian medicines which aren't good for human conumption... but again there is far worse things in processed food than that.

People are outraged by it because the food companies are frauding the public. and also because the horses are getting killed horribly and there's bute in them.
I don't get how so many people don't seem to be bothered what happens if there's dog meat, or guinea pig meat found one day.

People should be outraged at the far worse things put in our food than that. lol That is my point.

How do you know how "horribly" the horses are killed?

And what's the problem with eating horse meat, dog meat or guinea pig? Roasted guinea pig is a delicacy in South America.

I agree. Nothing wrong with horse. It's incredibly good for you. In fact, now that I think about it, I may even nip to the butchers later to see if he sells some. I'd definitely give it a try.

My brother's going to North Korea on holiday later this year (yes, North Korea, not South Korea). I'm trying to persuade him to try dog meat.

Well here's the funny thing. I'm vegetarian... lol But not because I dislike meat, I don't agree with how the naimals are treated during farming and slaughter. If I still ate meat, I'd eat horse or nay other animal. I find it hypocritical to pick and choose the animals you want to eat morally. lol

Forgot to reply to that bit, have you seen how pigs, sheep and cows are killed?

Cause if you think they are not killed horribly then I don't even want to know how they kill horses.

First we have the report that says meat will be a luxury product soon, then the EU out laws using the whole of the animal carcass. A cheap alternative is found, ie horse meat and now that is being taken away.

I hope the UK is prepared for very high food prices, if they don't want to become vegetarian then cheap horse meat could have been the answer.

That in itself is ridiculous,because the waste parts of the animal carcass will go into animal feed.
